Ilya Gringolts won the 1998 Premio Paganini international violin completion, in fact winning two prizes, for the youngest ever competitor, and for the best interpretation of Paganini’s Caprices. He hasn’t looked back since, with a complete Beethoven sonata cycle at Verbier in 2008, a premiere of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s Violin Sonata, performances at the Proms and the Wigmore Hall and awards for his Taneyev recordings on Hyperion and for his part in the Beethoven Triple Concerto with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Orchestra for DG. Gringolts has made a series of highly praised Schumann chamber music recordings for ONYX, and is joined by his eponymous Quartet, pianist Peter Laul and cellist Dmitry Kouzov in these recordings. This 5CD box represents both great value for money and music-making of the highest calibre.
